Artineering is about "design-build".
It is about art, engineering, mechanics, botany, ornithology, ideology, physiology, sculpturology, colorology, and visionology. Conceptual ideas are rethought, reworked, fine tuned, and molded into a functional and aesthetic product. The components can be metal (polished, scuffed, scored, dented, scraped, bent); wood (dried, engraved, chipped, shaved, grainy, knotty); rubber (worn, dry, dirty, stamped, transparent); flesh (muscle, organs, bones, breath); plastic (molded, colored, shaped, wet); glass (broken, mirrored, smoked, sunlit); or whatever else, animate or inanimate.
The similitude of the universe.

Within a few years of finishing college he moved to New York City to take on a new job. He immediately immersed himself in the house music scene in the mid-90’s and regularly hung out at Tunnel, Twilo, Soundfactory and many other underground spots around town. Gatto would follow his favorite DJ Danny Tenaglia to wherever the legendary master would spin on a given weekend, but he’d also check out Carl Cox, Junior Vasquez, Sasha and Digweed and many others.
Inspired by the music and the scene, in 1999 Gatto decided to purchase his own decks, mixer and 808, and on July 4th, 2001 he spun at his first[...]
